Giant desert centipede found hiding under nasturtium in our Arizona garden

I didn't even know we had them out here! (gross!) ;)

@eydieaz lol, yeah they are in all those dark corners and under rocks

[richardfireone]

they bite hard!! while in Puerto Rico I found many close to a foot long, very agressive

@richardfireone I could only image what one would look like at that size! I've only ever seen them out in the desert under rocks, but never in the garden...going organic brings them all in :)

@ArizonaAdventures Oh yeah,,got bit in the face, over my eye lid by a 4 inch one while in bed once and not only did it hurt like hell for hours, it bled profusely and itched for two weeks and hurt everytime I forgot and scratched it.

@richardfireone damn! That has got to be one of the worst places to get bite!
